It crouches and prowls in the dark corner, luring and tempting. It hides in the mid-shade perfectly, covering itself modestly with its dragonfly wings. It waits patiently...
... and then it attacks rapidly, crushing and suffocating its prey. It is its nature - it is a natural born predator.

Zapewniam - pomimo moich działań i ton elementów - ona nadal działa! (Sprawdzałam - i nie polecam!) I can assure you that the trap is still working deppite the tons of mediums and other stuff I put on it. I checked - and my advise is to keep out from it!
A tutaj kilka błoniasto - strukturalnych detali.

I really don't know wow to believe it and how to say it here! Only 2 days after I received the Color Room invitation I got a mail from Tattered Angels with a Design Team proposal!!! I was glad I was sitting on my sofa, because I could faint easily!!! Is so much luck and happiness possible in one time?!

Ok, I know I asked for it - I send my entry, ut on the other hand I know that there were so many talented people applying. I thought it is impossible to be seen in such a crowd of beautiful designs... but, somehow they found me! :)
I want to underline: I made it only because of your support – warm wishes, words of encouragement and crossed fingers. It is all because of you and dedicated to you – I would ave enough self-confidence to apply. Thank you for being with me! :*

Humorystycznym komentarzem do ostatnich wydarzeń niech będzie praca zrobiona przeze mnie na nowe wyzwanie kulturowe na blogu Craft-Imaginarium (nie mogę się powstrzymać przed skojarzeniem mojej aktualnej sytuacji z tym starym jak świat kawałem :) Trudno :)).
Inspiracją był Kapitan Nemo - i prace, które stworzyły dziewczyny zachwycają urodą i różnorodnością. Dajcie się skusić i dołączcie do zabawy - szczegóły - tutaj!I want tis creation to be the want tis creation to behumorous comment to my last situation. I made it for the latest Craft-Imaginarium challenge - Captain Nemo, but now I can't stop laughing at myself... it looks as if it was inspired by a quote from a polish joke about one politician before election: - I turn on the TV - and there is Lech Wałęsa. - I look into the magazine - Lech Wałęsa. - I look out through the window... Wałęsa!!! - I'm too afraid to open the tin...

Wiele się dzieje ostatnio w mojej najbliższej okolicy - a to szykuje warsztaty (i te wyjazdowe i te rodzime, mareckie), a to ganiam zakupowo jesiennie lub też nadrabiam zaległości towarzyskie -.choć bardziej przypomina to desperackie próby niż zorganizowaną akcję! Pojawiło się też na mojej drodze kilka ciekawych projektów - i mam nadzieje już niebawem się z Wami nimi podzielić...ale na razie wszystko musi się dopiąć i potwierdzić. Liczę na Wasze kciuki :)There is so much happening here around me - I prepare workshops (the intrnational and local ones), I run through the shops or try to meet with m friends, but it is hard to name it a "plan", it is more like "pure desperation":) There are some interesting things coming too, but I'm not sure of the detals yet, so I have to wait with sharing, but -stay tunned - and fingers crossed, please!

A skoro już o projektach mówimy - tak wygląda mój najnowszy projekt dla Lemonade Stamps. Scrap z kwietniowym zdjęciem, zrobionym na moście Śląsko-Dąbrowskim. To był pamiętny dzień - wyprowadzenie zwłok prezydenckich, ślub znajomych, paraliż komunikacyjny... And when it comes to projects...here is my latest design for Lemonade Stamps. We took this photo in April, on the one of Warsaw's bridges. It was a historical day: our president's body was moved to Cracow and my friends were getting married... all the city was paralised... what a day!

Delikatne, sprane kolory papierów z serii Grandma’s Attic od Lemonade Stamps potrafią zauroczyć. Doskonale wpisują się w klimat vintage, będąc doskonała bazą do kartek i prac w kobiecym, koronkowym stylu, a z drugiej strony ich kolory są na tyle mało zobowiązujące, że pozwalają na pewną ekstrawagancję w działaniu, zabawę motywami i kolorami tak, jak mam to w zwyczaju. Z jednej strony mamy tu trochę kwiatów, tuszu, stempli – a z drugiej strony taśmy ozdobne i plasterki, śrubki i metalowe ćwieki – wszystko to połączone w spójną całość spokojną kolorystyką papierów.
Eklektyzm i elegancja – czego można chcieć więcej? Delicate, washed-out colours of Grandma's Attic papers are enchanting.They fit perfectly into the vintage climate, making an ideal base for cards and layouts in a feminine lacey style, but at the same time the colours are not obliging, so you can be a bit extravagant when it comes to playing around with motives and shades as I do. On one hand I used some flowers, inks and stamps, and tissue, screws and metal brads on the other, all joined together by the colour set of papers. Eclecticism and elegance - what else do we need?

a tutaj kilka detali:

A już wkrótce coś , naprawdę COŚ :)

Ściskam mocno z całego serca!!! :*

And there is really SOMETHING coming... soon! Big hugs to You, all my visitors! :*

She closed the window on the wolves' threnody and took off her shawl, the color of poppies, the color of sacrifices, the color of her menses, and since her fear did her no good, she ceased to be afraid.

Inspiracje kolorystyczne przychodzą czasami nieoczekiwanie i z zupełnie nietradycyjnych źródeł. Tym razem w moje ręce wpadła przypadkowo metka od niedawno zakupionej bluzki... hasło mnie zauroczyło, coś w głowie zrobiło "pyk", a potem w zasadzie wszystko wydarzyło się samo.... Bądźmy dobrzy dla siebie samych...choć troszeczkę. Powinnam powtarzac to sobie jak mantrę, do upojenia :)Inspirations come tu us from the most unexpectable places an the most suprising ways. This time I bought a new blause...ant then I saw THIS label on it: "Be good to yourself"... Something in my had made a delicate "Click" sound and then it all just happened!
I have to be good to myself..at last a bit. I have to repeat it to myself everyday!

What is Steampunk then?
To be the closest – try thinking about victorian vintage and then add some extra metal stuff – screws and gears, machines and clocks... it's Julies Verne, steam and time machines mixed together and brought to life in a big alternative history “what if the steam and electricity world of XIX were a bit different?”. Steampunk – just it's older brother, cyberpunk, came to life in the heads of modern SF writers and games creators, but soon became popular in movies... and in art of course.Although my friendship with this style came more from “punk” than from “steam” I feel really inspired by it and I feel comfortable creating projects connected with this style...even more – I think it would be cool to dress up like time to time :)

For me the colourset - which is black and white only is a great possibility to create my own colours and backgrounds. Just think about embelishments - the possibilities are endless! The papers themselves are true eye-catchers - like this one, my favourite :

The style and fashion of the 20-ties and 30-ties were the inspiration for our 3rd photosession named Metamorphozis. We had geat fun feeling a bit like the ladies fron the old movies...
I really love this time which we share laughing and playing - thank you ladies you are with me and give me so much joy and inspiration..and effects? Here they are... I'd love to hear your opinion too!
